Les differens caracteres des femmes du siecle avec La description de l'amour propre (Édition de 1694)

  • Publication type: Book
  • Author: Pringy (Madame de)
  • Scientific editor: Venesoen (Constant)
  • Abstract: At the heart of the quarrel between the Ancients and the Moderns, Madame de Pringy is a moralist and analyzes several types of women—all guilty, according to her, of self-love. This treatise, of undeniable sociological value, restores a more balanced view of the social ferment of the late seventeenth century.
